Speaking of Game of Thrones, I AM SO SAD BECAUSE I WON'T BE ABLE TO WATCH GOT S7E4 tonight. Our cable is out and I won't be home. I should have watched it when it leaked in the internet. Now I am having a hard time finding the episode 😂 If anyone can link me to a youtube video or link (that isn't a suspiciously looking virus), I would so appreciate that. My love for GOT was born since Season 3 started airing. That was YEARS AGO. My love for the series ranks second in my favorite tv series list (MY ULTIMATE LOVE WOULD STILL BE FRIENDS OKAY). GOT is the BEST adventure/fictional series for me 🙈

Also, I know ADSOM is totally UNRELATED to the bookmarks but I wanted to let you see what my other current read was! 😍 I read Chapter 1 at Mcdonalds and was so fckng amazed at Chapter 1 okay. I'm that easily amazed. 😂 I can't wait to dive into this and finish it this week!
.

ALSO MY DMS ARE DROWNING BECAUSE OF THE BIEBER AND LEVATO PHOTOS. I love that you all side with me. It's something that is seriously disgusting. 😳 I promise to get back to you all tomorrow or later tonight. We have an event at work and I may not be able to stay and chat. 😢 GOOD DAY, MY CFEE (and tea!) LOVERS!!! 😘

So guys I decided to add Misery to my bookish matches collection in my Etsy shop! They have been requested a couple of times, so I decided to just go ahead and put them for sale! They are perfect with the IT matches. Get them both in the link in my bio! 🖤

Thank you to the beautiful @margheritaroberts for this delicious post! Check out her Insta feed filled with mouth-watering home cooked European dishes and delights 😍😍😍starting her own blog soon - CAN'T WAIT for those recipes!! ✨😘 Where are you reading Orange Sky? I'd love to know! DM me your photos ❤️

How gorgeous is this picture by @treehouseofbooks?! 😍 Pictured is the "Just Live" necklace inspired by the book Me Before You! ❤️ Still one of my favorite books! Wasn't very big on the movie, but really, when is the movie ever better than the book? 💁🏻

Yesterday I was contemplating about wonderment, asking myself when was the last time I've truly been in awe about something. The most obvious answer would be M'rjo's birth, but that was not what I intended. How many things do I consider to be beautiful just because I know they are rather than I see/experience it thus? The answer startled me, recognizing the over-scientified nature of my life and a certain blindness that keeps on befalling me, even though I try to avoid it. Therefore today is all about wonderment, skip science and its lovely reason, but watch and experience. Feel like joining me? Have a wonder-ful(l) day! ♡

Did you guys resist watching the leaked GoT episode? 👀❄️ Distract yourselves! Our next Thrifty Book Club is scheduled for the 15th of September, and the theme is Scifi/Fantasy 🤖 Ok we know there's a difference so don't get cranky - we just wanted an awesome spectrum of books for you to bring along 🤓 The deal is that you can come hang out between 3-4pm on a Friday afternoon, tea and coffee is provided, and you get to chat with other book lovers. Recommend a book you've read recently, get ideas from other like-minded people, and maybe browse for a new one! This gives you plenty of time to at least get a new book started, so hopefully we'll see you there!!

Happy FriYAAAY bookies! 🙌 Yay my first week of work after my vacation is almost over and I was so busy that time just flew by. 😱 So as we already made some wood for our old wood stove in the kitchen (we also have an electric stove but the wood one makes it sooo cosy in fall and winter) I've discovered a new shooting location that I really like A LOT. I hope you do too. ❤

The candle you can see on this pic is from @geekyclean (it's scent is delicious and reminds me of coca cola and cherries 🍒) and this gorgeous bookmark is from @lexyolivia and it has a quote from Six of Crows on it that I absolutely adore "Better terrible truths than kind lies."
♥
I don't know if you have seen it yesterday but the lovely Anna aka @anna.im.buecherparadies is opening her Etsy shop this Sunday ⏩ She will offer book themed bath salts 🛀 so definitely check out her shop account @thebookishdistrict for further information. 💙
♥
I also wanted to give you a quick reading and TV show update. As you may know my current read is Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard and I have to say I was hooked from page 1. 😍 I'm not even 100 pages in and I already have a very very good feeling that I will end up loving this book. ❤ (fingers crossed). As for TV shows: My boyfriend and I are watching the second season of Lucifer at the moment and we are totally obsessed. Do you also watch it? Oh my gosh: I think Lucifer is one of my favorite TV show characters ever! He's so sarcastic and funny and sassy and ahh... I just love him. 😍
♥
So enough with the talking. Rock your days my loves. 😘

I've been saying for weeks about not being able to get into anything to read. I keep picking up books and discarding them. Solution? Keep on going with a series you're enjoying. ☺️ Thank you @thelastpage35 😘

Mug is from @bookwormboutique 👌

Moving on to book 2 in the #shadowhunterbuddyread hosted by @bookstagram.buddy.reads. 😄 I'm very excited to see where the story goes in this next novel. For those who are wondering, I had already seen the movie so I wasn't surprised by the ending. I don't have a favorite character. Yet. But I'm really enjoying the world. It has this Percy Jackson vibe but with more demons. 😉

Today was a to-don't list day. I didn't do laundry; I didn't vacuum my room; I didn't clear off my desk. I stayed in my pjs, did some fun writing, watched movies, and read some books. 😊 Though, I did cook dinner and wash dishes which wasn't so bad. I love making stews because it involves a lot of chopping which I find very therapeutic. Plus stew! 😋
.
What's high on your to-don't list?

THROW 🔙 to one of my FAVORITE book Affairs and authors. I can't explain it, but @authorjdaniels is some kind of perfect, every book of hers I die over. But this one, this one has to be my favorite.

BLURB
Is this love or just a game?
Tori Rivera thinks Jamie McCade is rude, arrogant, and worst of all . . . the sexiest man she's ever laid eyes on. His reputation as a player is almost as legendary as his surfing skills. No matter how her body heats up when he's around, she's determined not to be another meaningless hookup.
Jamie McCade always gets what he wants. The sickest wave. The hottest women. And Tori, with her long legs and smart mouth, is definitely the hottest one. He knows Tori wants him-hell, most women do-but she won't admit it. After months of chasing and one unforgettable kiss, it's time for Jamie to raise the stakes.
Jamie promises that soon Tori won't just want him in her bed, she'll be begging for it-and he might be right. Somehow he's found the spot in her heart that makes her open up like never before. But with all she knows about his past, can she really trust what's happening between them? Is Jamie playing for keeps or just playing to win?

Day 15 Crystal Blade release🌹so honestly I haven't heard of these books or anything (please don't shoot me fans? Haha) but I still wanted to put something up for it and put my own excited release date book! I'm not s huge fan of James Patterson but I do LOOOVE his NYPD Red series and have been with them practically since the beginning haha. So finding out there was a 5th coming this last February, I was STOKED AND PUMPED UP...... Well I would've been IF I WASN'T PSYCHED OUT!! 😭😭😭 now it's not coming out until NEXT year!! 😭😭💔💔 BUT on the bright side, I was shocked to find all 4 of these at my local library today since it's so rare to find ALL or ANY series together at my library haha. I LOVE the character development and the two detectives, Zachary Jordan and Kylie MacDonald. They're under hyped and wish they were more popular. So go read these if you haven't already. .

And um.. As for Day 16 it was tell a joke and I have such a good one my sisters friend told her and she told me and now I LOVE telling this and seeing people's reactions. It's in the second picture too. So here it is: What does the Sixth Sense and Titanic have in common? .

Book friends! I have some exciting news 🙈❤️

I am teaching second grade this year! Woo hoo! This whole last week has been crazy. I've been moving into my classroom and meeting my students.
•
I need your HELP! Do any of you lovely bookstagrammers and fellow teachers have any good book recommendations for second grade (or 1-3)? My kiddos have been asking for mine craft books, Barbie books, and ALL things Monster trucks, etc! I'm on the look out for those, but I'd also love some idea for unique, diverse, and exciting literature for them!
•
On a lighter note, I'm basically in love with Tyler Knott's poems ❤️ This is his third book and I can't put it down! Where are my fellow poets at? 🙌🏼

This week has been the longest 😑 I'm pretty sure there is so much I still need to do but when I go to write it down, my mind goes blank. .
There really hasn't been much time for reading, however, I did manage to snag this while on sale and am excited to start it. This will be my first book by this author and I've heard so many great things. .
I'm always looking for new authors and I love that the bookstagram community exists. 🖤📚 .

I never read Where the Wild Things Are as a kid (at least, as far as I remember). I read it before the movie came out and wasn't really a fan of the story. I may have missed the boat by not reading at as a child. •
It's one of my husband's favorite stories though and I really love Maurice Sendak's art style. Who is your favorite illustrator? Mine is @bhelquist 😊
